Whatever the rule is, 0.41% is enough to get you a warning note, and
something below that is enough for a server to be tempfailed for
12 hours.  "AOL understands" is questionable.

I took a walk and now I think maybe I am trying to solve the wrong
problem.  It really is an AOL problem.  Their users will keep using
that button, and AOL will keep tempfailing.  They're not getting any
more spam than our own users here.

So all I really have is a queue management problem and not a novel
Mimedefang trick.  So, getting off topic at this point.
